I've highlighted the links using background-color:yellow in the moderation pages. It shows up pretty clearly.

So you have backlighted the links. That makes sense.

The page for all QA questions (with no filtering set at all) is blank: zero questions, just the message "sorry, no entries were found" - not even the "top experts" list is displayed.
If I look at "my questions" or "my answers" they are all there - and the "top experts" list is visible.
Both the "full list" and "my questions" are shown from web02, so it doesn't seem to be a specific webserver problem.

Not sure - it came back up briefly and I could answer a question. But then it went again.

I said this because it vanished at a time (weekly) where my answers don't get reputation for 2-3 hours

There seems to be a constant stream of old QA questions popping up to the top of the "View All Questions..." list that do not appear to have had any recent activity on them at all, even though it says that the item was "updated 3 minutes ago".
|
|
|
|

Yeah, I've noticed that as well. People will then submit solutions to really old items. Maybe there should be a time limit at which point threads cannot be updated.

That's me. When I delete answers, it registers the question as having recent activity. We're going to discuss precisely how we want QA to behave in regard to recent activity. But for now, don't worry, I did it.

It would be good if the "thread last updated date" was re-generated from the active answers and comments when an answer is deleted.

Please correct this finally. It is really the hell and very suspecious that a programming Forum can not Support this in a intuitive way!

I have been experiencing many articles downvotes after members are not required to give a reason for their downvotes. I deleted all my articles to protect their ratings. As you can see my comments are all downvoted with no clear reason.
Screenshot to show my articles are downvoted within minutes.

Why delete the articles? There are always idiots around who do this sort of thing, but does it really do you any harm?

This is the 3rd time it happened recently, I have lost 360 reputation points and some of my articles only have 3 to 4 votes and having a univote pull down the score alot.

So what? Reputation points mean nothing at all,really. I can understand you but still....
Request you to reopen the deleted ones. Wait for admins to respond. They take necessary actions if they feel its required.

You must be joking. Sites like CodeProject and Stack Overflow have invested so much time, effort, and thought into implementing a functional/desirable reputation scoring system, and you make a statement like that trivializing their efforts.

What i meant is, if i get some content downvoted and get lets say -16, does it really affect what i should? I think whole concept of such sites is to help.

Are you saying I should not report it?
If I care about reputation points, I would have reported it the 1st time it happened. The important thing is my articles got downvoted with no reason given.

No, it isn't! If they don't give a reason, then the downvotes are meaningless. If they explain why then you can change your article if their points are valid. But "anonymous downvotes" just mean "I don't like your profile picture" or whatever and mean nothing in themselves.
Don't worry about them - you get them. I get them, everybody gets them.
They only matter if you care about the rep points - and then the person downvoting is winning because he has achieved his aim of annoying you. IGnore it, and they will go away.
The system discards anomalous up- and down- votes when working out the average article score anyway! So if you write a good article and get 20 * 5's, a couple of 1's will be thrown away as they don't match the pattern.
For example, look at this one of mine: List<T> - Is it really as efficient as you probably think?[^]
It has 112 votes, of which the system has discounted 20 - 18 * 1 and 2 * 2, and only counted the 3's, 4's, and 5's - hover your mouse over the score at the top and you'll see what I mean.
And if the system insists you comment on a vote, then you get a whole load of useless "szszszszsz", or "fdgdfdgdfdg" comments which are no use either!

It works well when you have 20+ votes. But for articles that don't have many views, and are written by relatively unknown authors, often you don't see more than 5-6 votes. So even 2 malicious 1s can damage their score meaning people may not even read the article thinking it's crappy. Potential employers may look at it and feel that the author wrote a sub-par article. So there's a lot of damage potential there.
